EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Question 1

Autorotation landing procedure?

Answer 1

-Set low collective pitch
-Monitor & control rotor rpm
-Establish 65 kt
Move fuel flow control to shutdown position
-Relight engine ( paragraph 3.2 in manual)

-Otherwise close fuel shut-off cock and switch off booster pumps, generator, alternator (if installed), electrical power master “ALL OFF” switch
-Manoeuver to head aircraft into wind on final approach
-65 ft (20 m) above ground, flare to a nose up attitude.
-20-25 ft (6-8 m) gradually apply collective to reduce sink-rate.

Question 2

Landing after engine failure in Hover IGE?

Answer 2

-Do not reduce collective pitch
-Control yaw
-Cushion touchdown by increasing collective pitch
-Reduce collective pitch as soon as the aircraft is on ground.

Question 3

Landing after engine failure in Hover OGE?

Answer 3

-Reduce collective pitch
-Apply forward cyclic pitch to gain airspeed according to available height
-Terminate in accordance with 2.1 procedure.

Question 4

Symptoms of engine failure?

Answer 4

-Jerk in yaw axis
-Drop in rotor speed
(aural warning sounds below 360 rpm)
-Torque at zero
-Ng falling to zero
-Generator warning light illuminates
Engine oil pressure drop warning light illuminates

Question 5

Relighting the Engine in flight?

Answer 5

Normal relighting ceiling is 13.000 ft (4000m), but may be attempted throughout the altitude envelope.

-Booster pumps: ON
-Wait for Ng fall below 30% then carry out normal starting procedure.
